Call out the National Guard: Clarkson dared to make a joking remark about Burkas

Wah. There Is no Fun in Islam* Alert:

Jeremy Clarkson has joined the debate on whether burkas should be permitted in Britain in his own inimitable style.

The outspoken presenter provoked a flurry of complaints after telling viewers of Top Gear on Sunday night that he had seen a Muslim woman wearing sexy underwear beneath her burka.

Clarkson had been discussing the best way to stop drivers being distracted by female pedestrians, along with co-presenters Richard Hammond and James May.

Faeeza Vaid, co-ordinator at the Muslim Women’s Network, said: ‘The debate surrounding the burka is a serious issue which shouldn’t be publicly joked about. Rather than joking about it, we should be having serious dialogue.’

Apparently, humourless, more-PC-than-thou ‘singer’ Lily Allen also complained on her Twitter Page about the remark – which makes it all good with us. Full story at the Mail.

*“Allah did not create man so that he could have fun. The aim of creation was for mankind to be put to the test through hardship and prayer. An Islamic regime must be serious in every field. There are no jokes in Islam. There is no humor in Islam. There is no fun in Islam. There can be no fun and joy in whatever is serious.”
